Austin, Texas Metropolitan Area
Building and scaling production infrastructure at Meta — managing 50+ Linux servers and architecting containerized platforms across multiple business-critical applications.
• Architected multi-container Docker environments (Nginx, Solr, ZooKeeper) with custom Dockerfiles, enabling consistent deployments across DEV/TEST/PROD and reducing environment drift to near zero.
• Designed multi-region Kubernetes clusters on AWS with Horizontal Pod Autoscaling (HPA), absorbing 5x traffic surges while cutting idle compute costs by 30%.
• Hardened 50+ Linux production servers (RHEL/CentOS) — OS patching, kernel upgrades with zero unplanned downtime, and kernel parameter optimization improving server throughput.
• Provisioned infrastructure for 4+ enterprise projects using Terraform & Veeger, automating server and network setup — reducing manual provisioning time by 70%.
• Built real-time observability stack streaming telemetry to ODS API with Fishbowl Alerts, reducing Mean Time to Detection (MTTD) by 40%.
• Engineered FBAR (Auto-Remediation) — a platform that monitors server health and auto-triggers recovery on degraded states, improving incident response time by 50%.
• Automated DR runbooks for EAM and E2OPEN — scripting failover procedures and health validations, reducing Recovery Time Objective (RTO) by 60%.
• Configured IPv6, SSL/TLS termination, and active-passive failover across Nginx services, achieving 99.9% uptime with zero-downtime deployments.
• Designed CI/CD pipelines with automated smoke tests and validation gates for end-to-end deployments across all environments.
• Built Python automation services: OTBI report updater with Manifold integration, XDB database sync tool, and cross-platform scheduled jobs feeding metrics to ODS.
Tech: Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, Chef, Ansible, AWS, Nginx, Python, Shell, ODS, Splunk, Concourse, Linux

Supported DevOps engineering for Visa's payment processing platform, building deployment infrastructure and automation frameworks supporting mission-critical financial transaction systems.
• Designed and deployed Kubernetes objects (Deployments, Services, Network Policies) to orchestrate containerized microservices, improving deployment consistency and enabling horizontal scaling.
• Architected an internal E2E automation framework using Cypress for monitoring client-facing apps — reducing bugs by 15%. Framework became the standard testing infrastructure adopted across multiple product teams.
• Engineered Jenkins CI/CD pipelines with Groovy-based seed jobs for dynamic pipeline generation; maintained Jenkins nodes ensuring zero pipeline downtime.
• Hardened Docker container images with security patches and built a custom configuration drift detection tool — reducing misconfiguration-related incidents across environments.
• Performed deep-dive log analysis using Splunk across UMS and EPC API services, identifying bottlenecks and reducing API error rates.
• Developed Terraform scripts for repeatable cloud infrastructure provisioning across production and non-production environments.
• Reviewed and validated 3 cross-team features from the RISK team through functional and integration testing, increasing team contributions by 11%.
• Designed and executed automated regression and smoke test suites integrated into CI/CD pipelines, ensuring every deployment passed quality gates before promotion — catching 20+ critical defects pre-production and reducing post-release rollbacks.
• Built containerized test environments using Docker Compose to mirror production topology, enabling reliable integration and performance testing that eliminated environment-specific failures and accelerated release cycles by 25%.
Tech: Kubernetes, Docker, Terraform, Jenkins, Splunk, Python, Groovy, Java, Cypress, Selenium

Rockville, Maryland
Built and scaled CI/CD infrastructure for financial regulatory systems at FINRA, engineering deployment pipelines and custom Jenkins tooling supporting 140+ concurrent jobs.
• Built and maintained 100+ CI/CD pipelines, standardizing all from non-F3 to F3 format for compliance; integrated BlackDuck security scanning, embedding shift-left security into the delivery lifecycle.
• Automated parallel deployment orchestration for 140+ jobs — coordinating builds and dependencies for concurrent execution, reducing total deployment time by ~65%.
• Developed two custom Jenkins plugins (Scheduler & Orchestrator) to automate deployment workflows; load tested both under high-concurrency before production rollout.
• Designed multi-strategy deployment pipelines (Blue-Green, Canary) with Jenkins, achieving zero-downtime deployments and reducing deployment cycle time.
• Executed DR region migration from AWS us-east-1 to us-east-2 — coordinating infrastructure replication, DNS failover, and validation testing for seamless business continuity.
• Developed and led a DevOps bootcamp to upskill the entire engineering team on CI/CD best practices.
Tech: Java, Groovy, Shell, AWS (EC2, Route 53, CloudFormation), Jenkins
